Artificial Intelligence (AI) Use Policy

Using AI tools for content generation in submissions to RhetTech is not acceptable. When submitting work, it should be your own original work and all authors should be acknowledged in the submission.

The use of AI systems for editing and grammar enhancement is common practice and, therefore, is generally outside the intent of the above policy.

Copyright

RhetTech issues are published free and open access. Copyright for the works contained within are vested in each individual author and is not retained by RhetTech.

Typical timeline

Submissions are accepted during the fall semester of each academic year, and each new issue is published near the end of the spring semester.
